HANSARD Vacancy

Mr Fred BOND, a well-known member of the Hansard staff,
has been advised, owing to his suffering from the effects of overwork,
to take a complete rest and change of scene for a short period, and he
has therefore resigned his appointment for that purpose. There are three
applications in the field for the vacant appointment. Messrs GEDDES EPPS
FRICKER

Brisbane-Friday.

A Malay named SEEDE was seized with a frenzy and ran a-muck
at a Malay festival held at Normanton.

Before he was captured he had stabbed three whites named
FITZGERALD MERIGA DAVIS, who have since succumbed to the injuries they
received.

The schooner ALERT has been wrecked at the Louisiade Archipelago.
The crew were all saved.

At the funeral tomorrow afternoon of Captain RUTTER, the
first part of the burial service will be read at St Andrews Church
at 2. 30 oclock, and no persons other than those composing the choir
of the church will be permitted to enter the churchyard until the relatives
of the deceased and those taking part in the procession have entered the
church.

HILL-Matilda was charged with lunacy at the Resident Magistrates
Court yesterday, before Mr G PREECE, R.M.-charge dismissed as sane.

The Rev FREELAND M.A., will relinquish his temporary charge
of St Andrews Church after the first Sunday in July, having to return
to his duties at the Adelaide Cathedral. The news will be received with
deep regret by the very large circle of friends that Mr FREELAND has made
since his arrival in Napier.

The MOKAU CASE

The house was occupied nearly the whole afternoon with
a discussion on Mr Joshua JONES claim to the Mokau land, a case
which threatens to become quite as celebrated as that of the well-known
Mr and Mrs AGNEW, which was also before the House for two to three years.

The discussion arose this afternoon on the announcement
made by the Native Minister that Colonel ROBERTS and ex Judge DAVEY would
be appointed to investigate the whole matter.

Strong exception was taken by Mr SEDDEN and other members
to the proposed commissioners and mysterious mention was made by him to
a third party in the transaction besides Mr JONES and the natives, and
this was resented by Mr SAMUEL, the member for New Plymouth .more

Manaia-Friday

John Mc LEAN, settler, was lost whilst cattle hunting
in the bush on the slopes of Mount Egmont from Monday until Friday last
week,, subsisting on berries and part of the time on the flesh of the
cattle he had killed. The weather was very severe. And when Mr McLEAN
reached a settlers house he had nearly lost the power of speech.

Twice after travelling for a considerable time, he found
himself back at the point where he had shot a beast.

New Plymouth The HAWEA is still in the same position.
Captain BENDALL went aboard this morning, and found the vessel working
from side to side. In his opinion she has worked through the sand, and
is now on the hard bottom. The weather is squally, but the vessel is well
protected by the breakwater.

Odessa Convicts Two hundred and sixty convicts recently
arrived at ODESSA from the central prison for transportation to SAGHALIEN.

Among them was Prince Nicolai VICHVANOFF, sentenced to
hard labor for life for the murder of his sister.

to 20 years and 15 years hard labor respectively-also for highway
robbery;

The Don Cassock Captain Andrei KYRIAKOFF to eight years

The chief figure in this notorious group, however, is
the Persian Prince Gumanjun MIRZA, sentenced to 20 years hard labor
for the murder of his elder brother.

The motive for this fratricide was an inheritance of 5,000,000
roubles, which the murderer wished to obtain.

Our HAMPDEN correspondent writes under yesterdays
date: -

The funeral of the late W INGRAM was the largest ever
witnessed in Hampden, people coming in from Waipawa, Onga Onga, Kereru,
and all other parts of the district to pay their last respects to their
oldest and respected settler.

Verdict returned that Death resulted from an accident,
deceased being thrown from a horse against the side of Messrs ROBJOHNS

A meeting was arranged to discuss an offer by the debtor
to pay 5s in the £1.

Parliament Wellington A Final Protest

Mr TANNER informs me that he will walk out of the house
when the third reading of the Tariff Bill comes on, as he does not wish
to vote against the government, of whom he is a very warm supporter on
every question of policy except their tariff proposals. Mr TANNER is the
member for Waipawa.

HANSARD STAFF

The Reporting Debates and Printing Committee, presided
over by MAJOR STEWARD, decided the recent appointment to the Hansard staff
caused by Mr BONDs resignation this morning.

They were narrowed down to Messrs GEDDIS and FRICKER,
with the result that Mr GEDDIS, who has been on the reporting staff of
the Auckland Star for many years, was selected by six votes to three.

BAYLEY Albert

(Note by Elaine)- presume this was just out of Hastings.

OMAHA An accident happened at Omaha to a boy 13 years
of age, named Albert BAYLEY, a son of the country chairman.

He was out shooting with a gun, and while trailing it
along the ground, the trigger, which was down on the cap,, caught in a
piece of wood, which raised the hammer slightly, discharging the gun.

He received a terrible wound on the left arm, which will
have to be amputated.

Wanganui A man named H A SOUFFLOT attempted suicide on
Friday night by stabbing himself in the breast with a sheath knife. He
was brought up at the Police Court yesterday and committed for trial at
the District Court. He assigned as his reason for the act domestic troubles.
A divorce suit in which he is concerned is coming up at Wellington next
week. The wound is not dangerous.

Greymouth ***Note by Elaine-I have a John DOBBS in my
family tree who married a Aunt in 1930s love to hear from any one
who has a interest in this surname. They lived in Auckland for a number
of years and then finally at Napier.

A wrestling match at Taylorville between James DUNN and
James DOBBS was won with considerable ease by DUNN, though DOBBS is quite
two stone heavier.

A number of citizens met on Sunday at GILMERs Hotel

HBH June 19 1888 ***Typed as written-Elaine

A correspondent named Peter GRAY writes a fair sized letter
in which he desires to praise a local firm, and as we believe the praise
is deserved we give the two assertions he makes.

He bought a Yankee slasher to do some clearing
with, and found the tool defective. He then asked Mr Alex JONES, of the
Waipukurau Implement Factory, to make him a slasher, and it was the best
tool he ever used.

We are exceedingly pleased to hear this from Mr Peter
GRAY, as Messrs JONES and Sons have built up a splendid local industry
on Freetrade lines, none of their products having been protected,
and they have furnished an example of what we have always contended-that
local interferences are a burden and not a help to the industries suited
to this colony.

A correspondent named Cornelius CORRIGAN writes complaining
that because he made a slip and was fined for drunkenness he was subjected
to scurrilous abuse in a sol called report in an evening paper ..more

The half yearly meeting of the Hawkes Bay Lodge
I.O.O.F., American Constitution, was held in Waterworths Hall last
evening.

The weather is cold here, but it must be sultry
at North Makaretu, judging by the fires there.

The embers from the fire at PEERs house are hardly
cool, as one may say, and now comes another blaze.

An old couple living there named BAKER were burnt out
on Sunday morning. How these conflagrations come about is most mysterious.

The son was from home, and the old folks retired before
10 oclock on Saturday night. There is no fire-place in the back
room where the fire was first noticed, no person had been near with a
light, yet four hours after the poor old couple had been in bed the aged
wife was roused by the roar of the flames.

To call her old man and rush out enveloped
in a blanket was the work of a moment.

The enfeebled old gent opened the door to the back part
of the house, but was met with smoke and flames.

They therefore rushed out of the front.

There was no time to save an article, except the two blankets,
one for each.

The wind was blowing half a gale at the time, from the
back of the house. The unfortunate old woman trudged off to where her
son was staying for the night, via., at a Mr Mc LEODs, five miles
away.

The weaker old man had to remain rolled up in the blankets
until relief came from the Mc LEOD house.

Some £16, the only money the old couple had was
burned.

The place was insured for £50, but was sold some
time since to Mr J HOWARD, of Hampden, who gets the insurance.

The loss is estimated at £75.

The police have gone up to inspect the spot, and make
further enquiries.

Timothy CONDON- a bankrupt, formerly carrying on a business
in Coote Road as a baker, was charged that he falsely entered in a book
of accounts in his estate the receipt of a debt of £15 as occurring
previously to his petition being filed.

Auckland

Telegraphic Monday

Per United Press Association

David ASHER and Pine AWANUI were charged at the Supreme
Court today with conspiring to defraud by procuring certain aboriginal
natives to personate other natives, some of whom were dead, but who if
living would be entitled with other natives to certain blocks of land,
in order that the fugitives so impersonating might receive the money which
those they personated would be entitled to receive.

ASHER pleaded not guilty and the other prisoner guilty.

Mr WILLIAMSON and Mr BUTTON for Crown.

Mr E HESKETH for prisoner ASHER.

Abridged by Elaine .. then ..
ASHER was employed by the Government to negotiate with the natives for
the purchase of the block, and was to receive £5 for each signature
of an owner that he procured.

He entered into an arrangement with Pine AWANUI to procure
signatures by getting other natives to personate proper owners, some of
who were dead.

CAMBRIDGE

D PORTER a teller in the Colonial Bank of New Zealand
at Cambridge, left the bank premises on Saturday morning, and not having

The following appointments were made:

Miss B BULLION-pupil teacher, GISBORNE

Mr WORBOYS-master, HERETAUNGA

E WRIGHT-pupil teacher, KAIKORA

Miss FRIBERG-assistant-mistress, MAKATOKU

Miss GOSNELL-pupil teacher, WAIROA.

Captain Francis H BARDEN, and old Imperial Officer, has
died at Woolhard, aged 89.

He obtained a commission in the Royal Engineers in 1827.
He was injured at a review three years afterwards, and was transferred
to the Civil Service, and was one of the Under-Secretarys to the
duke of Washington in 1838.

He was despatched with a detachment of sappers and miners
to south Australia, and the last work he was engaged in in that colony
was cutting a road from Adelaide to Melbourne in 1851.

He afterwards superintended the construction of the dock
works in Tasmania, and took part in the Maori War in New Zealand, in which
colony he entered the Survey Department.

He came to Sydney in 1893. He died in Independent circumstances,
but he was the claimant of vast wealth in connection with the GOODSTEPHINE
estates, which are still in Chancery.

A young man named James CLARKE, living at Tambar Springs,
near COONAMARAGAN, was handling a gun which he supposed was not loaded,
and after snapping one of the caps he handed the weapon to a little girl,
first putting on a fresh cap. He then invited her to fire at him, and
the child pulling the trigger the gun exploded, the charge piercing through
CLARKEs head from ear to ear, and killing him instantly.

Aus News THOMPSON

Per Steamer at the Bluff-Own Correspondent

VICTORIA

A rather amusing piece of deception was practised in the
Melbourne Police Court on a recent Monday with regard to two prisoners,
one of whom had been arrested for drunkenness and the other for larceny.

By a strange coincidence they both answered to the name
of William THOMPSON.

They were both elderly men, and were somewhat alike in
general appearance. It is usual to classify the prisoners before the opening
of the court, the drunkards, who are dealt with first, being separated
from those charged with more serious offences.

When the names were called out, William THOMPSON, charged
with drunkenness answered for William THOMPSON charged with larceny, and
took his place with those arrested for felony.

It thus happened that William THOMPSON arrested for larceny
was brought up for being drunk and disorderly, and as he had been in the
Watch house since Saturday he was discharged. He lost no time in getting
away from the Court, and the mistake was not discovered till the real
drunk was called upon, much to his evident astonishment and
concern, to answer to a charge of larceny. The Bench, of course, had no
option but to discharge him, but a warrant was issued for the arrest of
the other William THOMPSON, who cleverly took advantage of the mixing
up of him and his namesake.

HERITAZ-Aus News

The Civil Service Board recently met to investigate a
serious charge of immorality against Mr H HERITAZ, the head teacher of
the BORUNG State School.

It appears that Mr HERITAZ, who is a widower with four
children, had his niece keeping house for him. Some months ago the niece
gave birth to a child, and subsequently when the child was born the fathers
name was omitted from the register of the birth..

This led to an investigation by the police, who communicated
with the head of the department, and the present inquiry was the result.

A large amount of evidence was taken. Mr HERITAZ has been
in the service for 15 years.

Aus News DUNSTAN

The Coroner has held an inquest on the body of a lad named
DUNSTON, who was accidentally killed when fencing with a fellow-worker
named Charles OLSEN.

Dr SMALL, who made the post mortem examination, detailed
the injuries that were caused with a knife with which the lad OLSEN was
fencing striking the deceased.

Charles TRIADGOLD-witnessed the occurrence and gave evidence
and upon hearing the evidence given the jury found that the deceased came
by his death from a wound accidentally inflicted by Charles OLSEN.

The latter, who was in charge of the police, was then
discharged.

***Note by Elaine-It is a pity that all the names were

A MODERN ROMANCE

A strange affair has (says the Plymouth correspondent
of a Home paper) just happened near the secluded village of MILTON.

It appears that a Mr CRIMP, a farmer, advertised for a
farm assistant. A young man who had walked from Cornwall, presented himself
as an applicant.

The wretched and dirty appearance of the man, and his
apparent weakness and poverty, prejudiced Mr CRIMP against taking him
into the house. But the heart-touching appeals made by the neglected laborer,
and his promises to give his work in return for board and lodging, induced
the farmer to accept his services.

Some time had passed; when the man confided to the farmer
that he was owner of a large estate near CHIPPENHAM, WILTSHIRE, and that
he had a father who owned hundreds of acres of land. He had left home
through some unpleasantness, and had been wandering about for several
years, never hearing from his family.

He earned a living as a navvy, or as a farm laborer, and
when he presented himself for work to Mr CRIMP he was penniless and starving.

The farmer went to CHIPPENHAM to see whether his story
was genuine, and discovered the place his mysterious servant had described.

He was surprised to see an elegant mansion in the midst
of beautiful country. The name that had been given to him was false but
upon asking the gentleman of the house whether he had a son answering
the description given, who was entitled to a part of his estate, he replied
in the affirmative, but said he had given him up for dead.

Great was the joy of the father when he heard from Mr
CRIMP that the missing member of his family was living. The old gentleman
was so anxious to look once more upon him that he returned with Mr CRIMP
immediately to DEVONSHIRE.

He said that the boy had gone from home through a domestic
disagreement, and had never returned. They had mourned for him, and thought
to see him no more,

The farmer telegraphed to the son to meet him at Kingsbridge
Road station, but without hinting that he would also meet his old father.

When the travellers reached the station they saw the young
man standing at the horses head. The aged parent recognised his
child, although he had greatly altered through privation and hard work.
True to his master, the young man would not leave him until he had found
a suitable workman to take his place, and now father, mother and brothers
are once more living together in happiness.

Hawkes Bay Team

Page 3 Football Team

Tomorrow WARBRICKs native team will play a series
of matches in New Zealand. It will be up against a team representing Hawkes
Bay, and admirers of the game are anxious to see how the Maoris shape
there will no doubt be a large attendance at the Recreational ground.

There are two players omitted from Te Aute-notably PRENTICE
and Wi HAPE, whose claims to a place in the team are surely worthy of
consideration, have been omitted.

CUTHBERT-a county forward and old provincial rep,
has been overlooked.

The individual members who will play are: -

J FLEMING (Harriers) a man who has won inter-provincial
colours both here and in the south Island. I would have liked to see Mc
KAY filling this place

Le QUESNE (Pirates) a good kicker and moderate collar-hardly
deserves a place in the team and I think his position could have better
filled either by Wi HAPE or HARDEN.

R PERCY (Harriers) slashing three-quarter, very fast and
a good kick and collars well. He is a dangerous man in the vicinity of
his opponents goal.

B Mc KAY (Pirates) fully deserves a place in the team,
but would prefer to see him fullback.

J NORRIS (Harriers) is a fast man, one who requires some
stopping if he gets away, but is hardly up to rep form as a halfback.

J DEMPSEY (Pirates) an hones hard working back, but rather
light for collaring big Maoris.

PATTERSON (Harriers), and MORRISON (Pirates), the wings,
are the right men in the right places, and they both follow up well, and
are good dribblers and collars.

W ROBSON (Napier) is the best forward at present playing
in Hawkes Bay; works like a horse.

MOORE (Pirates) a good hard working forward, but rather
apt to get riled during a game.

John FLEMING (Pirates) is a moderate forward, his specialty
being on the line out.

Mc KENZIE (Harriers) a new hand at the game, is one who
promises to develop into a first class man, but is rather raw for a rep,
and given to kicking hard in the scrum.

HAWKINS (Harriers) a grafter in the scrum, and a good
dribbler, is apt to kick too hard and lose the ball.

SYMONDS (harriers) is a hard working player with any amount
of dash; dribbles well, but is inclined to imitate his skipper in kicking
hard

HUGHES (Harriers) an honest worker, but light, and hardly
worthy of a place in the team when such men as CUTHBERT, C D KENNEDY and
others are excluded.

Of the forward G ROSS (Harriers) aa good collar and kick,
and could well take the place of any of the backs who may not be able
to play.

CORBETT (Pirates) is the mystery of the team;
what the selection committee every saw in this mans play beats me.

PEACOCK (Napier) a forward who puts all his weight in
the scrum, is good and collaring and stopping rushes, but rather slow.

As there is a probability of ROBSON not playing the team
in that case will consist solely of Harriers and Pirates, which seems
rather rough on players such as Wi HAPE, PRENTICE, and KARAURIA (Te Aute);
CUTHBERT, SHAVER, and W DUNCAN; and HARDEN, TODD, PEACOCK, and CHILDS
(Napier; however, I hope to see the team give a good account of themselves,
and show the rest of New Zealand that Hawkes Bay still retains her
good name in the football field.

Town and Suburban Racing Club

Very great interest is taken throughout the Colony in
the match Hawkes Bay v WARBRICKS team, to take place on the
Recreation Ground at 3 p.m. today.

NEHUA (13ST 8LB) WILL PLAY FULL BACK. He learned the game
at St Stephens School Auckland, and at Te Aute College. One of the
best forwards in Whangarei; he was chosen for that position in the team,
but his fine punting and drop kicking have led to his trial as back.

W WYNARD a three-quarter (Auckland 111st 4lb)A good punt
and drop-kicl, but his weak point is tackling. Represented Auckland against
Taranaki, and was Captain of the North Shore Club.

J WARBRICK (Hawkes Bay, 11st 12lb), a veteran who
commenced his representative career by playing for Auckland against Otago
in 1877, and he has played for or against every province and been considered
the best all round back in the Colony ever since. Has never yet played
in a defeated representative team.

D GAGE (Wellington, 11st 3lb), an old Te Aute College
boy who came into prominence in the Poneke Club, Wellington. Has played
for his province against Hawkes Bay, Otago, Canterbury, and England,
and is considered its best full back. Very active, cool, sure kick with
either foot, and collars and punts splendidly.

IHIMAIRA a halaf (Hawkes Bay, 13st 7ls), is a rep
of 1885. Is fast, and difficult to stop; is weak in passing, but plays
hard.

W WARBRICK (Tauranga, 12st 7 lb), represented Auckland
against SYDNEY and WELLINGTON in 1886. A Very dangerous man in opponents
25, is fast, and difficult to collar. Tackles very surely, and is developing
into a good kick with both feet. A Grafton Club star.

T ELLISON (Wellington, 12 st 7lb), a forward, and old
Te Aute College boy, and one of the best forwards in Wellington, where
he plays for the Poneke Club. Travelled for his province in 1886, and
has represented it in all matches since. Is fast, and quick in pouncing
on opposing backs and dribbles and stays well.

WILLIAMS (Wellington 14 st 10lb), is the infant
of the team, height somewhere about 7ft, fairly fast, and good on the
line out. Travelled with Wellington in 1886, and has represented it since.
A Poneke Club member.

R TAIAROA (Wellington, 11st 9lb), a Dunedin High School
boy, who has represented Wellington since 1886. The lightest forward and
best dribbler in the team; shines in the open.

TAARE (Hawkes Bay, 111st 13lb), isd a good hard
working forward, fair dribbler and tackler. Can play half back, and belongs
to the county7 Club.

KAURAURIA (Hawkes Bay, 13st), is another county
man. Is just learning the game, which he takes to kindly. Works hard in
the scrum, and follows up well.

Arthur WARBRICK (Tauranga, 13st 4lb), learned football
with his brothers Joe and William at St Stephens School, Auckland.
Was once a sprinter; grafts hard in scrum, and follows up well. An indifferent
dribbler.

G WYNYARD (Auckland, 12st 10lb), is a fast nand hard working
forward-one of the best in the team-but rather apt to over run the ball

ANDERSON(Thames, 12st 10lb), a genuine hard working scrummager
who never tires, and is always on the ball. Has represented the Thames
in all matches for many years.

RENE (Nelson, 12st 10lb), is a fast and good forward.
Shines both in scrum and open.

WARBRICKs MEN WILL PLAY IN THEIR TOUR UNIFORMS,
AND Hawkes Bay in the black and white provincial colours.

FAULKNOR Mr E

I regret to have to record a sad accident, which occurred
this afternoon to Mr E FAULKNOR while playing football in Mr RAINBOWs
paddock.

Mr FAULKNOR had just engaged in the first scrummage when
a snap was heard, and it was found that one leg was broken between the
knee and ankle. Drs FAULKNER and LINNEY were sent for, but unfortunately
they were both absent, so the sufferer has been removed to his house on
a sofa.

A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of John
WATT, licensee of the Shakespeare Hotel, was held at the Courthouse on
Saturday.

Mr CARLILE for assignee

Mr DICK for Debtor

Messrs BANNER and LIDDLE-creditors.

BANNER and LIDDLE principal creditors their claim being
£1080 in addition to guarantees for smaller amounts, and they held
as securities a mortgage on the leasehold and a bill of sale over the
furniture.

They proposed to relinquish their claim under the bill,
paying £150 to the estate for the furniture. The proposal was a
fair one and it was decided to accept it and to recommend the debtor for
his discharge.

HBH June 26 1888 Wairoa plus

From Wairoa Correspondent-Monday

Last Saturday a fine sample of Wairoa building stone from
Mr John COUPERS quarry on his run at Spring Hill, was shipped by
the s.s. Wairoa en route to the Melbourne Exhibition.

There are four pieces, which fit into each other in the
shape of an obelisk, the top piece having a suitable inscription in gilt
letters.

This stone, which was quarried and worked up by Mr R GARDINER,
country road overseer, is much superior to the sample sent down to WATERWORTHS
yard some months ago.

The sample of wheat grown at WHAKAKI and was sent down
some months ago to be forward to the Melbourne Exhibition is remarkable
good, and will most likely obtain an award.
